Just post The Men's lastest album in the Now Playing thread and you will be safe.

This. Both because that album is the jam and because Now Playing is the easiest thread to break into in TML. The very rare times you see anyone dislike a post in there is usually because it's somebody giving someone they know crap.

How are you going to contribute and be more than wallpaper if you can't take, once again incredibly, some would even say relaxing, teasing?

look, like everyone else, i'm trying not to bring up any old beef but you can't really believe that everything you say comes across as teasing. part of the reason we don't really fight any more is because i completely stay out of the troo music lounge. in fact, the last music thread i tried to post in (the bleep bloop one) juggs tried to make me feel stupid for liking to dance to burial and you liked all his postings belittling me. you guys can be kind of harsh sometimes.

just sayin.

I'm literally afraid to post anything in response here, only because I have no idea why I enrage you to the point you can't have a discussion and you bring me up almost constantly, but I don't think Juggs comment about dancing on a grave (get it, Burial) was trying to belittle you. It's just a joke.

yeah, see that's the point. i don't bring you up constantly and i can have a discussion. i haven't even said anything about you at all in like three years (big head much??????) until all this shit went down.

my whole point is that i KNOW you guys and i don't give a crap what you say about me.....but like everyone else above me has echoed, not all people feel that way or understand what's going on.

what you may see as a "joke", i saw as "stay out of our thread, we think you are dumb for liking to dance to this music". now maybe that's me being a little girly, but it's not like i'm going to go report that or something. i would LOVE to have a music discussion with you (and all the other antagonizers) but you don't exactly invite it sometimes.

That's not what I meant. I meant I typed out a response that was basically, "no one was making fun of you, you were fine!" and then you took it as the exact opposite and wrote like a manifesto of your dislike for me.

Maybe you should listen to what you have been told like 5 times in the past two pages. I am going to try and distill it down for you.

When a larger group of people pick on a single individual who has a divergent opinion that is bullying.

When someone makes a thread you find distasteful and you flood it with baseball comments and pictures of Phil Collins to make them feel stupid, that is bullying.

Considering that you participate in these activities your snarky remarks tend to get viewed through the lens of your other actions. I would think if you could just stay out of threads you don't like and concentrate more about saying positive things about what you do like that it would do a whole lot for the TML.

hahaha you drama queen! i didn't write a manifesto. hell it's been so long since i've been mean to you, phil didn't even know we "hated" each other!

i know the other posters have been much nicer about it and that is not my style, you know this.

my only point was to echo what the others had said, in that what you may deem as "teasing" (but come on, sometimes it isn't that at all, let's be real).....can be scary and off putting for people not as comfortable with being "joked" around with.
